    Right then what have you broke…

    I’ve done my collar bone (twice)
    Both wrists
    Several ribs
    Nose (twice) once was rugby though.
    Pinky toe on my right foot (now it can’t touch the ground)
    And my 3rd lumbar vertibrae (coming off the moto bike)

    And I just turned 25… I’m looking forward to old age!

    12th thoracic vertebra,

    Right collar bone twice.

    Stitches and washouts 3 times.

    Ribs (probably) twice.

    I’d rather have some wear and tear due to having fun than wear and tear due to being a fat git. Although i dont do hucking any more after the back injury.

    I think I’ve got an ingrowing toenail. Not sure if its bike related, but I did stub my toe on a nasty root pushing my bike on Sunday.

    Do you people have co-ordination difficulties or something?

    I’ve bashed my gentleman’s area and that’s about it.

    I’ve made a mess of my knuckles changing chainrings / disc rotors though

    reminds me of the “scar scene” in Jaws…. I hurt my foot kicking a dog once (joke)

    Not as bad as above, but my most recent biking injury.

    I think my coordination was already broken!]
    Subsequently I broke:
    collar bone
    little finger (inside palm)
    wrist
    left middle finger (OW, still trashed!)
    also my knees and shins are quite scarred from multiple impacts

    acceptable collateral damage

    Collarbone. Didnt know it had happened.
    Ring finger on right hand – cracked knuckle (fell off boardwalk and punched it on the way past)
    Cut the top off my right index finger with the chain/chainring, had it sewn back one.
    Countless shin scars, including a proper squirter from landing kneeling on my frame after a jump – pressure-split my shin open on the top tube, theres now no tissue below the scar and its just a thin skin covering over the bone.

    All I have done is cut open my left shin when I was about 10. This was the result of my first attempt at jumping I landed on a lump of broken concrete and it split open my shin so I could see both bones in there. 10 proper stitches in a 10 year old sized shin is quite big. Only had one day off school too.

    Oh and Ive tore my ball bag again while jumping but I was about 18, hooked up the back wheel landing a double and bent the saddle then landed my balls on the tyre I was only wearing thin football shorts that offered no protection. My balls got pulled in between the tyre and the seat stay and the only way of stopping was with v brakes! I limped off behind a tree to inspect myself came back with my hand covered in blood and decided to go home. It was a two mile ride because we didn’t have mobile phones then.

    Oh yes I also still suffer 10 years on from having got whiplash down my back when (you guessed it) jumping again. I’m in constant pain from it. Nice.

    I think that’s all.

    Not really hurt myself properly for some time now but I have a feeling I will if Llandegla is open on Monday.

    Maybe your trying hard and our trying hard are different levels, you know, like the difference of a drag race between a punto and a top fuel dragster, both will be trying hard but only one will ever win 😉
